How to Set Up Your First Home Office – Twin Cities MN

Working from home is not a new concept for some in Minnesota, but recent events have created a shift in the American workforce and more people than ever before are working from home. While simply placing a laptop on the kitchen table is one way to work from home, having a designated home office offers a better environment for productivity and is easier to set up than you might think.

• The first step is to find the right location for your home office. Although it’s great if you have a spare room to use, not everyone has this luxury. A corner of a master bedroom or living room, a loft area, or the breakfast bar in the kitchen can work just as well.
• Once you find the right space, create a list of the materials you’ll need to be productive. A desk is best, but if you don’t own one, then any table will work. Use bookshelves or storage cubes to keep paper, pens, and other useful items within easy reach.
• Pay attention to the lighting – both natural light and lighting fixtures. Cool light, such as sunlight, is best for productivity. Make sure you have a desk lamp or floor lamp if the room doesn’t have proper natural lighting.
• Once you have the essentials set up, it’s time to add some personal touches. Add a plant or decorate a wall with pictures or artwork you enjoy, to bring the space to life. Consider the storage elements as well, such as pen holders or file folders.

A home office doesn’t need to be fancy to be an effective and enjoyable space. The most important consideration is to ensure you can work in peace; it should also offer a pleasant place to be productive that is separate from your living space so you can unplug at the end of the workday.

If you’re looking to buy or sell a condo, a townhome, or a single-family home, please feel free to contact Shannon to discuss.
